Forex Technical Analyst Trader | Mar 22, 2015 12:57AM ET
In this article I will provide my view on the EUR/NZD, AUD/NZD, AUD/USD, EUR/USD. These are the pairs that I am currently interested in or was interested in last week for trading with the FxTaTrader weekly strategy. I will pick one to analyse in more detail from the pairs that have not been discussed yet recently.h3 Open/pending positions of last week/h3
EUR/NZD
This pair will be analyzed in detail. The NZD is a stronger currency from a longer term perspective with a score of 8. The EUR remains weak with a score of 1. The pair broke on March 3 through a previous bottom looking for new lows. The downtrend is still active and any pullback is an opportunity to step in. Last week (pending) orders were placed and profit was made of 1/4 Weekly ATR, 95 pips. The pair remains interesting for coming week.
- As can be seen in the Currency Score chart in my previous article of this weekend the NZD is having a score of 8 and the EUR a score of 1.
- In the current Ranking and Rating list of this weekend the pair has a rank of 1. This list is used as additional information besides the Currency score and the Technical Analysis charts.
- Besides the general information mentioned the outlook in the TA charts also makes it an attractive opportunity.

This pair will be analyzed briefly, for more information read the article Weekly Review Strategy Wk11 where the pair was tipped for going short. The USD is a stronger currency from a longer term perspective with a score of 7. The EUR remains weak with a score of 1.
